Auction and Nikon Update!

*update below about chip-in button*

I am so sorry for the delay in getting your auction invoices. I've wanted to work on them ever since it closed Monday afternoon...but we've had major illness here. Not to be dramatic, but I feel like I've got thistles in my throat, a base drum in my head, a truck with bad exhaust in my chest and Paul Bunyan beating on my back.

But...the show must go on!

We are posting the Nikon entries as they come in, and we will draw around midnight tonight as soon as it closes!

Also, some of you will begin receiving your auction invoices via email tonight!

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

*for some reason the chip-in button is being cranky today and doesn't always show up. So here's an alternate method to enter the Nikon drawing.
log in to PayPal, click "send Money," in the "TO" line use my email: cjohnson@pldi.net; enter the amount you wish to contribute, and in the "Message" section put "Nikon Fundraiser"
Easy peasy :)

*Note to self* I might have bitten off more than I can chew this ~~week~~ month! Our Both Hands project letters need to go out this week, we need to square away the auction...and we are in the throes of illness here. Thank you for praying for our family! We just want to get Khloie home, and it is completely realistic that we would travel in 5 or 6 weeks!
